5 Guitar Licks (Lessons)

Went with a radio/pop-rock theme this week. Features a few ways to spice up simple, singable melodies with drones, repetition, and octaves as well as a couple fast, flashy licks. Hope you like it! You can find a PDF download of the full notation/TAB, more writing about each lick, and a backing track of the rhythm section in the video to play to on my website: http://westheobald.com/5-pop-rock-guitar-licks/

Thanks guys! I have a lot of fun learning making this videos. The Kemper makes all of my recording way too easy!

Tonight is gonna be the first time I am using it out live. I used it at two rehearsals so far and was amazed at how good it sounded with the band. Have been taking baby steps getting it into live use. Gonna use my real pedalboard into the Kemper into a backline cabinet tonight. Still need to get more confident with setting up and working the remote before I go full Kemper, but I can't wait to be able to just show up with the Kemper bag and a guitar

This week I did some rockabilly playing! A chorus solo over a swinging blues in E. Used M Britt's 'Vibro King' profile with some slapback delay on the lead guitar track. Some Brian Setzer-inspired lines, travis picking, and a bunch of fun double stops!

Great stuff. And greatly appreciated.. How did your gig go?

They all went really well! Used a very nice Princeton Reverb profile from M Britt for the entire show. Sounded just like my very temperamental '66 on one of its good days!

Hoping to get comfortable with the remote soon and maybe give it a try the next time I fill in at a smaller bar/club show. Haven't yet got the hang of getting the Kemper's effects to sound up to my Nobels ODR-1/Klon/Memory Man yet, but I'm sure those sounds are in there somewhere

Did a couple of new ones the last two weeks! A couple country rhythm guitar ideas to try out this week
